Chapter XXIII International Toto Cup

In order to concentrate on preparing for the new season, Lotito must not arrange any commercial matches.

Although other teams have gone to Asia and the United States and made a lot of money, these have nothing to do with the current Lazio.

Lazio still don't even have advertising sponsorships on their chests, but they can't make money for the club by going to the global tour to play commercial matches.

Chang Sheng made this clear to Lotito in advance. Touring can hurt the team and prevent the team from training properly.

At a time when a new team needs all kinds of run-in, this practice is very detrimental to the interests of the team.

The best thing to do is to stay at the Furmelo training base and not go anywhere.

So in the summer of 2005, when Real Madrid set foot in China again, Lazio was concentrating on training at a training base on the outskirts of Rome.

Some of the warm-up matches arranged were also played in the training base, and they were not even sold to the public and were not open to the public.

Except for the media allowed by the club, no one in the other media can not get in and get first-hand information.

The victorious Lazio is mysterious, as if it did not exist in this world.

The training is closed, and so are the competitions.

It is only in the Toto Cup that one can see what kind of team Lazio really are.

Or from the performance of the Toto Cup, it can be speculated about the tactics and line-up that such a Lazio team will adopt in the new season.

Chang Sheng is so closed not for secrecy, but just so that the team can not be disturbed and put all their energy into training in the most precious time.

It makes sense for Chang Sheng to do this, because he is pressed for time.

The International Toto Cup matches tend to start early.

Lazio are Serie A teams, so they don't need to start from the first round. But even so, Lazio's first Toto Cup game was still early. On July 17, at this time, the whole Lazio team was still in the stage of physical training, and there was no tactical practice at all.

In this game, the reporters naturally couldn't see anything at all.

That said, with the help of their three winning skills, the patchwork Lazio beat Finnish Premier League side Tampere 2-0 at home.

After the game, the media in Roma City said that the victory in this game did not show how high the level of coaching of Chang Win was. Nor can we tell us how good Lazio's form is and how high the level of those players is.

It can only show one problem: the opponent is too weak!

The fact that such a disorganized team was able to win the opponent 2-0 makes people only be able to draw such a conclusion.

This match is the first leg of the third round of the International Toto Cup.

The second leg will be played on July 22.

At that time, Lazio had just finished the physical training phase and entered the technical and tactical training stage.

But because the training has been increasing, there will be a brief gap in the players' fitness at that time.

We have to play away from home...... It's hard to say whether the two-goal lead will be able to hold on to it at that time.

It would be a joke if Lazio, who had made such a big move, were eliminated in the third round of the International Toto Cup......

β€»β€»β€»

Everyone is waiting to see the winning joke.

It's a pity they didn't see it.

On 22 July, away to Tampere. With a different line-up, Lazio ended up drawing 1-1 away from home and advancing to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 3-1.

Next, Lazio only need to win one more semi-final to qualify for this season's UEFA Cup.

Although the away team was a little embarrassed, they still qualified.

The media held back their words and waited to ridicule Chang Sheng, but they didn't expect to say it at all......

This hurt a lot of the media.

But the date for the semi-finals of the International Toto Cup is very close, starting on July 27.

So those media who have been holding their stomachs for a bad time still have a chance.

β€»β€»β€»

The team has officially entered the technical and tactical training stage.

The two games against Tampere became examples of how they are always winning.

Before starting training. Chang Sheng showed the whole team the video of the two games, and he wanted to tell everyone. Why did the team play like this, facing a weak team like Tampere, and could only narrow the way out......

What problems can his tactics solve in the game?

After watching the video of the game, coupled with the commentary of Chang Sheng, I believe that many Lazio players should have a basic understanding of the new tactics that Chang Sheng is about to implement.

Then slowly go deeper.

Lazio's current first-team squad is dominated by these people: goalkeepers Peruzzi, Handanovic and the third goalkeeper from the youth team. Angeles.

Central defender Jose. Passarella, Pavon, Stendaldo, CrΓ­baly, Camaggnaro.

Full-backs Odddo, Zauri, Pasquale and De Silvestri from the youth team.

Midfielders Liverani, Gianni Keda, Luka Modric, Melo, Marchisio who returned to the first team from the reserves.

Forwards Pandev, Rocchi, David. Silva, Benzema and Borriello.

A first-team squad of twenty-two. There aren't many people, but considering that Lazio are certainly playing on a single line this season, a first-team squad of 22 men is more than enough to handle most of the games, except for the achievement mode of very bad luck and a wave of injuries.

In this lineup, the permanent win plan is to be until the official start of the league. None of them have a fixed starting lineup.

Because his tactics don't have a real main lineup, anyone has to be the main team. Otherwise, as long as one of the main players can't participate in the game, the team's performance will plummet, and such a thing will not be allowed to happen.

It's like standardisation, when a player in a position is injured or in a slump and he has to replace him, he knows that the player who comes off the bench can be trusted and can replace the injured player immediately.

These players may not have as many opportunities to play as the core and main team, but they still have to play their role, and try to eliminate the difference in strength between the main force and the substitute.

However, from these two Toto Cup matches. Chang Sheng found that Pavon was not doing well.

Only then did he remember that he seemed to have said that he wanted to talk to the other party......

But it doesn't seem to be particularly well timed......

β€»β€»β€»

Lazio's opponent in the semi-finals of the International Toto Cup soon came out and it was Marseille.

Many of the media in Rome have said that when they encounter Marseille, it can only be that Lazio has fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes.

Because as far as this Lazio team is concerned, it is absolutely impossible for them to eliminate Marseille.

When the time comes, you can finally laugh at Chang Sheng unscrupulously.

July 27, the first leg of the semi-finals. Lazio host Marseille.

In this high-profile match, Lazio was not able to win it.

They were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Marseille.

Pavon started but was replaced by Stendaldo after the break.

Because Pavon's performance in this game was really bad.

His performance at the back was no different from what he did at Real Madrid.

Indecisive in defence, poor positional sense, not knowing what to do.

His amateur performance suddenly lined up with Jose next to him. Passarella is simply the world's top central defender, and the title of "Nesta's successor" is well deserved!

After the game, some media criticized Pavon's performance, thinking that Chang Sheng, who has never looked away, finally looked away this time!

"I don't know why he's bringing this waste from the Bernabeu...... I used to wonder if it was Changsheng who took some means and finally succeeded in saving Francisco. Pavon is the lost lamb. But it's a pity. I guessed the beginning, the end and the process wrong! ”

β€»β€»β€»

Chang Sheng thought to himself that it was a good loss that Pavon still couldn't read Italian, otherwise the criticism of these media would be enough for him to drink a pot every day.

But maybe this is the perfect time to talk to Pavon?

Although Pavin was in a very low mood, Chang Sheng still planned to pour another basin of cold water on him.

He wanted to make Patcher fully aware of whose responsibility was for his own problems.

In this case, it is only possible to use a little more jΔ« spirit.

It's the same as swallowing water, that's not going to work.

So the day after the match against Roma, Pavon was called into the manager's office by Chang Sheng.

"I remember I once said that I wanted to have a good talk with you. It's a pity that I've been busy before, so I didn't have a chance. Now's your chance. We can finally sit down and have a good talk, Francisco. ”

There is no nonsense in Chang Sheng. Straight to the point.

Pavon sat on the couch and said nothing.

"You think it's all my responsibility that you fell into such a field, don't you?"

Pavin glanced at Chang Sheng, although he didn't speak, Chang Sheng still understood his eyes: "Isn't it?" ”

So Chang Sheng smiled.

"But actually, I think you should thank me. Because I let you escape that sad place in Real Madrid. ”

I saw Chang Sheng's triumphant appearance. Pavon finally couldn't hold back and still spoke: "I love Real Madrid, I don't think that's my sad place, coach. ”

"Call me Boss." Chang Sheng corrected his mistake in the title and then continued: "You are destined to have no future at Real Madrid. It doesn't matter if it's me or not, it's all the same, it's just a matter of time. ”

"I don't believe it." Pavon stubbornly looked at his future head coach. He wasn't worried at all about losing his chance to play because of the head coach.

He even wished he wanted to do this, because he didn't want to play for Chang Sheng, he hoped to force Chang Sheng to take the initiative to sell him, it didn't matter where he went, as long as he could get rid of Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng smiled when he saw such a stubborn Pavon: "Alright then, let's analyze and analyze, Francisco." What do you think is the biggest reason why you didn't succeed? ”

Pavon felt that Chang Sheng was insulting himself by asking this question, because it forced him to recall the unbearable past......

So his face is very unsightly.

Chang Sheng saw it and guessed it.

"You think I'm trying to make you remember that 5:0? Wrong, let's be honest, your biggest problem is your poor mental quality! Twenty-five-year-old, how can the psychological quality be like a child who can't grow up? When you encounter a little setback, you think about giving up and giving in, a player like you will not be productive until you retire! Don't expect success at the Bernabeu! ”

Chang Sheng gave Pavon a slap in the face! (To be continued.) Wonderful Novel [Net] Remember our website:
